"Get a funtastic state of fitness"

Runtastic dev team, after reaching great success with runtastic running app, widen its limits in order to cover all the workout needs of mobile devices users. Runtastic Push-Up focused on one of the most important exercises to keep a great state of fitness. If you're looking for app that helps you track your progress and motivate yourself, keep reading.

First question, how can it track my push-ups? Well, there are two systems: by touch with your nose the display when you go down or just by approaching it enough (proximity sensor). This way your mobile device will track how many push-ups you've done in each series. Runtastic will generate weekly, monthly and yearly stats as well as personal records (that you can share through your social media to challenge your friends or show off your progresses). What's more, runtastic calculates calories burnt.

Until here the app is already great, however, it's actually even better. You can "Try record" which is a free push-up mode or "Start your workout". The latter drives you through a set of series with each corresponding 60-30 seconds breaks (countdown is displayed). Before starting your workout, a video will be displayed to show you how to make push-up correctly (a monitor will explain it step-by-step). You can even download voice package for assistance in your language.

These are the basic feature you can find in the free version. If you want to turn runtastic in a professional training tool we recommend you to upgrade to the pro version which is ad-free and includes a complete training program (24days) and allows user to start workout from a different points, depending on their state of fitness. Great app.

This apps navigation and pacing stand out from other pushup apps I have used. It's easy to adapt my own workout around the pushup sessions with the easy navigation. I like the pushup technique aid, though I will say, I'm afraid smashing my face into the phone after a failed pushup. Thumbs up overall 5/5
